I really like this washing machine. I purchased it from First & Best for my short term rental apartment so that my guests can do their own laundry. The suite doesn't have appliance water and drainage hookups and I'm glad that portable washing machines exist to fill this need. At 1.34 cu. feet, it's a bit on the small side, but the cubby where I wanted to store wouldn't accommodate a larger model. As it shows in the video, 1.34 cu. feet holds two full-sized towels. Another load could be one pair of jeans, a large handful of socks and underwear, and 5 teeshirts. It also washes both a queen size flat sheet and fitted sheet at once. You can extrapolate from these values how your own laundry needs might be solved with this model. The quick cycle completes a load in 23 minutes, which is faster than most traditional washing machines, and so I can get 2.7 cu. feet of laundry done in under 50 minutes, approximately the same as a regular load of laundry in a traditional machine which takes about the same time.
The machine is well built and doesn't vibrate or shake during use. It seems relatively quiet, like most washing machines, and a conversation can be held nearby it in operation.
The main thing that I didn't like about it was that the wheels are on the back, and so when I wheeled it into the cubby it was backwards. I wanted to show it off! So I solved this with a $25 adjustable dolly built for portable appliances, which makes moving it effortless.
I'm so glad I finally got this machine for my rental guests, who LOVE it. Some of my guests said they will purchase one for themselves. I wish I had one of these when I was in university! This machine will pay for itself in under one year. Portable washing machines are perfect for dorms, apartments, condos, RVs and tiny homes. It's also a great way to add a second washing machine to your home.
*Canadians, please note that this doesn't ship to Canada yet, but I picked it up from a parcel delivery service just across the Canadian/US border and paid a nominal import duty fee of $35.*
It's Grandma Sally after a year of using her Panda. I bought the cart to go under it. I'm 78 now. It's just too heavy to lift it. It has a locking mechanism on the wheels. I just washed my great-grandmother's hand-made quilt. I had to watch it at all times, because it feels as if she lined it with iron. But I'm happy to say it looks super. It's over 100 years and came out spotless. I never put really dirty clothes in it and clean the lint filter and dry out the drum every time I use it. My dresses are always washed by hand and hung on a rack to air dry. I'm now using the tub clean cycle. Everything works great. I still have no idea what the capacity is and usually try not to overload it.
I'm so glad it's working out for you. Small machines like this give many the dignity and simplicity of washing at home.
Hi Grandma Sally, how do you change the lint filter?
Finally, someone who knows how to do a review. Moves on right to the subject without a lot of blah blah blah. Excellent. Thank you for sharing.
Tip: Add laundry detergent first and then the laundry. The detergent is distributed more efficiently.
I suffered through hours of horrible reviews so future searchers might not have to. www.ezbyonline.com is where you can find these models.
@@DisabledNomadsI did read that, but in my estimation, unless the load is so heavy that it cannot submerge the top of the load (in which case we've got a different problem, and the load won't wash effectively no matter the soap input) the placement of the soap doesn't matter. It swishes and is fully mixed in about 10 seconds.
I absolutely agree! This guy got straight to the point.

I have the exact same modelAnd I have been using it for 4 years now no problem whatsoever.Mine is permanently hooked up and it just works and does a very good job on laundry.
Now this is the way all reviews should be made. Great info but to the point and not too long. Very good review, thank-you.
I appreciate that!
I agree!!! Short, clear and to the point
Thanks so much for this video. I just used my Pan638MH1 for the first time (before I saw your video). Since I'm a granny, I had a few hilarious moments. I did not have the connector on properly and gave myself a slight bath. Be sure it's hooked on tightly before you turn on the water! It did a great job. Now that you've shown me how to use the program button, it's clear sailing. Thanks a lot. Grandma Sally
I got the same one weeks ago. Here’s a tip if u need to add something during wash press play/pause and you’ll avoid the alarm from lifting lid. Once lid is down press play again and it will continue cycle!
Oh wow! Good catch!
I added a notice in the video with your advice over that section.
How does it get the water.I know you hook up the hose to the sink but how does it fill up with water when it washes your clothes do you have to turn the Spicket on on the sink
@@adamgoof he didn't show it, but there is a nozzle you screw on the end of your tap, it matches the hose on the machine, so when you place it on the tap, it locks in. then you turn your water on, whether hot, warm or cold, of course, you can change it for the rinse.
@@lindav1189 the only downside is that you can't use the spigot until you are done. If you are in the kitchen, this can be an issue
I wish all reviews were this simple and on point. Good job bud
Thanks! I watched hours of horrible reviews about these portable washing machines and decided I needed to make a difference.
@@shangaosurprise you e
I'm desperately in need of one of these. Glad to hear it works well...
I would like to thank you for the info you have provided for the machine, everything has been explained better than the manual.
Great video! I just bought this washer. I was a little worried about the faucet leaking/spraying because I didn't have the plumber tape like you mentioned. But I finally realized my unit came with a black circular thing that slips into the quick adapter and functions the same as plumber spray to prevent the leaking!
That's cool! I also used the black washer that came with mine. But the plumbers tape is necessary for the sink adapter I found. Hey, if it's working for you don't jinx it lol.
Mine came with two black washers - a thick one and a thin one. I slid them both into my quick adapter and it fully blocked my leakage! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
I know I’m late but this video just popped up on my timeline but I just wanted to say this was very thoughtful of you to have this portable washer for guest to use❤️
I do it for the superhost status 😄
Wow!!
This short video was so precise and answered all my questions especially that of the air dry.
Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
I actually love this panda portable washing machine. It looks very simular to the one my friends daughter has and it does a really good job. My friends daughter just bought her first home in the suburbs. Its a small 2 bedroom starter home that's perfect for a beginner who is single like she is who is just starting out, learning the ropes, and on a tight budget. The house is small but its perfect for a single person, or a couple just starting out. She bought a really nice portable washing machine because thats all she can afford for now, and it fits perfectly in her kitchen in a cubby area. However, the hose connection appears to only have the capability to connect to average size faucets, not fancy upgraded faucets most kitchens have today. You can't disconnect your lovely fancy faucet every time you need to do your laundry. My friend had no choice but to place the machine in her basement. However she hates basements and thinks they are creepy and hated the fact that she had no choice but to put the machine down there anyway. The basement does have a washer dryer hook up, and a medium shelf, but again, she couldn't afford appliances right now. The good thing about all this is her basement has one of those really deep plastice utility sinks with a standard faucet. Lucky her right? So she improvised. The basement is finished so thats a good thing. She went to Home Depot & bought a small dehumidifer because you need it for a basement regardless. Then she went to the dollar store and bought a close line rope, some close pins, a few picture plaques that say: laundry area, wash & fold, and also got a couple of picture frames with pictures of rustic basins and flowers, and a chalk board to write on. She even bought rug Mat's to match the decor, and a plastic bin with 3 drawers just to store the close pins, dryer sheets and so on. She created the cutest little laundry room area. She attatched the closeline rope from one small area of the basement to another & rigged the rope so that when the cloths were dry, she can un hook one side so the close line isn't a sore eye. She improvised on a tight budget and created an awesome little laundry room set up so it feels more comfortable and not feel like a creepy basement even though the basement is beautiful and finished. So If I had to vote on a portable machine like the panda, I would give it a thumbs up since I saw what my friends daughter created with something as simple as a portable washing machine, and a few things from the dollar store to give her an incentive. Now she doesn't think her basement is as creepy as she thought anymore 🤷♀️ lol 😁
Wow, that's a really great story of ingenuity and perseverance! And I agree, having a utility sink is really a gamechanger for the portable washer, making it easy to set-and-forget.
All see needed was to purchase the correct adapter for like $10-$15
Thank you for the video, that was excellent, concise and very worth watching. I appreciate this very much.
Hi. Great video!!! I think you should do another video explaining how to maintain, clean all filters inside and back bottom, warning and caution signs etc. Thank you
Thanks for the vote of confidence! The only thing I can really think of is cleaning out the lint filter and maintenance on the machine is not advertised nor have I really had to do any. The lint filter is dead simple.
I saw your awesome review on amazon and you sold me i bought the same day i saw the review
Glad I could help!
THANKYOU SO MUCH..JUST GOT THE SAME EXACT ONE YESTERDAY, AND I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND HOW TO USE THE BUTTONS AKA THE FEATURES..BUT THANX TO HOW CALMLY AND CLEARLY YOU SHOWED AND EXPLAINED I NOW UNDERSTAND lol lol 😆
I have one I had it about a year it's a great washer
I was wondering how does it get why did you have to turn on the Spicket on your sink
Amazing review of the Panda, but more so, best quality reviewer I've seen on youtube. Great video, voice, timing, and overall to the point information. I hope to watch your reviews of other random items.
Just got this machine delivered. Your video was very helpful.
I had this over a year works great I wash my kids clothes .
interesting, certainly worth looking into.
thanks for making this video !!
I have the same machine. I absolutely love it
Awesome concise straight to the point review. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words and I hope it helps you out!
Thanks for the awesome review I can't wait to try mines out...it was purchased for me as a baby shower gift so I won't have to wash my baby's clothes at the laundry mat, I'm so excited!💙
Game. Changer. Just don't overfill it. Comforters and large jackets still need to go to the laundromat because they have larger capacity.
@@shangaosurprise ok perfect, thankyou😁👍🏽
I my washer will be delivered on tomorrow and from the reviews I will love it as I watched a vedio on how to use and it seems very easy I give this machine two thumbs up
I hope you enjoy it!
My washer is a midea Mae70-502ps and it has a capacity of 2.1 ft.³I love your washer it's so cute
I love this machine it was easy to use and washes very well very good item
Have it ...Works Great..
Thanks! that's all i needed to know. I'll be ordering the one that holds 13lbs PAN60SWR1
Mine is 1.34 cubic feet and the PAN60 is 1.60 cubic feet. I'd estimate you can put two towels plus maybe a hand towel, or a couple extra t-shirts on top of my demonstration. It's not that much larger. If you want a really big one look at RCA RPW302.
Good job on the review, would love to see more from you. Thank you!
Thank you for this demonstration. 🤗
Really useful I want to go camping with that machine that would be just useful
Great video! Thank you
It looks like it actually uses a adequate amount of water for a change to wash the clothes. Most washes have a water conserve thingy that keeps the tubs from filling up and the clothes don't get clean.
Yes it's totally customizable to your needs.
Very well done review sir
Thank you kindly
Thank you ❤
thanks hope you get some bucks from panda because you sold me on this
do you leave the water on the whole time your washing or do you have to hurry back to cut the water off?
The water from the kitchen faucet remains on the entire time and an internal mechanism turns it off and on. Once it's finished you can turn off the kitchen faucet and remove the hose.
Thank you very helpful I am about to buy it on amazon I said let me check here first.
I ordered mine off ebay it was cheaper then Amazon. Brand New
Good review!! Thank you!
GREAT VIDEO!
hi thanks for the review! you said this one automatically runs the entire process of washing/rinse/and spin without having to manually change the setting? cause the PANDA6360W you would have to manually change the setting to wash or rinse or spin its not a fully automatic washer machine.
Yes, as it shows in the video I select a complete wash cycle and walk away.
If you choose a setting between 1-5 its runs the cycles automatically, but if you choose btw 6-10 then you will have to manually change
Thank you for your speedy reply to my previous question. I probably need a book called, "Plumbing for Dummies" but I think you might be able to answer the following for me as well.
1) I've watched any number of videos on portable washers but I haven't heard anyone mention the possibility of attaching these to presently installed washer hookups in a home. Is that not possible?
2) If all attempts to make an adaptor work with a kitchen or bathroom faucet fail, wouldn't it just be possible to make the machine work by filling it with water from a bucket?
3) If the hoses have been attached successfully to a faucet does the faucet stay on during the entire wash and spin process or does it need to be turned off once the desired water level has been reached?
4) If plumber's tape is used to keep a leak from happening between the faucet and the hose wouldn't you have to untape and retape every time you remove the hose?
I think that's the extent of my questions. I just don't want to buy something only to find out it can't be used because I can't make it work!
Thanks again.
so useful
Are the clothes dripping when you take it out? I have a portable washer that I'm looking to replace. I love the spinning side of it. It really gets all the water out.
Please tell information about the fitted dolly 💁🏽♀️
Thx!!
Start by searching for this. Yaesport Multi-Functional Movable Base, Telescopic Furniture Dolly Size Adjustable with 4 Locking Rubber Swivel Caster Wheels for Washing Machine, Refrigerator ＆Dryer (White)
Also, how does the water get removed. It looks like it defies gravity by having to go up. The portable washer I have Ihave to just it in my bathtub.
How do you apply the plumbers tape? Where exactly do I apply it? Having issues with leaking Between the quick adapter and the hose and not sure how to fix this. Thanks!
You wrap it around the adapter. Look up UA-cam videos on quick change adapter sink plumbers tape for tips. I also needed to wrap it 8-9 times, much more then you might think
Great review, thx!
Would children’s size sleeping bags fit? I would imagine maybe one at a time? I doubt a full size adult sleeping bag would fit?
Thanks for your video. I have this washer and clean it the lint filter every use. Last night the spinning was loud, second time it happened during the spin cycle. Then I smelled burning! Almost smoke! I don't know what to do now, but I quickly unplugged it right away after turning it off. Do you have any idea what this could be?
I just used mine for the 1st time. I did smell a slight burning smell
Did you ever figure out the remedy or find out what causes this smell?
thanks, buddy
by the way, is it still working well for ya? thanks again!
I had mine develop a leak and it was promptly replaced in warranty for no cost. Nothing is perfect, what matters is how you're made whole! Now I only use it in a bathtub or where there is a drain if in case I walk away and it springs a leak again.
@@shangaosurprise thanks much for your response! Yes, I'm actually kind of nervous about the drain pipe...seems like it's sort of fragile and in a vulnerable spot. I bought it by the way and it's working great! I got the 4 year warranty just in case but that's great to hear that Panda took care of you. Seems like a good brand. Thanks again!
Love it
This is beautiful, come do my studio fl to lol
I wondering if you used fabric softener? Like when do you put it in? First rinse cycle or second?
There's somewhere to pour fabric softener into the top of the drum. I presume that after it spins it uses gravity to push the fabric softener into a new chamber that gets flushed into the rinse cycle.
Can I hook this up to a regular water and drain hookup already installed in my apartment? Or does it have to go to a sink and faucet? (Hope that made sense)
I believe so. You'd have to purchase your own inlet hose but the diameter is standard on this machine and others. The drain hose could be placed in a standpipe or hooked on a utility sink to drain. However, if I already had plumbing for a washing machine I would get a larger model for efficiency.
shangaosurprise thank you very much!
It also only has a single inlet and so you'll have to choose between hot and cold, unless you get fancy with the inlet.
yes, just remove the supplied inlet hose and buy both a “Y” washing machine hot/cold mixing hose and a 3/4”-female-to-3/4”-female hose adapter to hook up directly to the threaded inlet water connection. connect the “Y” hose to the hot/cold spigots and the adapter to the outlet of the “Y” and the inlet of the washer. (a short 3/4” extension hose may be needed, depending on how far your washer is placed from your hot/cold valves.) you will have to adjust the water temp at the hot/cold wall spigots for each cycle, or just leave them set at warm for most wash and rinse cycles...
yes yez yes !!!!! there better coming from washing with Leila on UA-cam, Facebook, and Instagram!!!! now you need your washing with Leila tee shirt and masks!!!!
So you casually mentioned the need for plumber's tape but not a word about where it needs to be used. Are you using the hoses that came with the machine or did you replace them with some hoses that weren't made for that machine? Or did you get an extension for the original hose??? Where at which point is the tape needed? Also, if one has to remove an aerator in order to make the hose fit the faucet does that aerator need to be replaced and the removed every time the washing takes place? Thanks in advance for an explanation of these issues.
When the aerator is removed so that Quick change adapter can be added there will no longer be an aerator on that faucet, and it is impractical to add it and remove it every time because the tape becomes shredded. Plumbers tape is a finicky beast, I'd recommend that you look up some videos on its application. Even if you follow instructions precisely there are some times that it still leaks. It usually takes me two or three tries. I will say that the direction of the tape application matters, but can do no justice to the explanation so hunting for videos yourself is the best plan. The tape goes on the faucet after the aerator has been removed and also on the unit itself. You can buy an extension by purchasing a portable dishwasher hose which is sold at the likes of home Depot but the one that came with it was adequate, if a bit short.
@@shangaosurprise Oh.....on the faucet!!! Thanks. I must have missed hearing you say that (if you did), so sorry. I guess you are not suggesting that tape needs to be used anywhere on the hoses themselves but only to keep the water faucet from leaking where the aerator used to be. That makes sense. I saw some reactor using a different machine using the tape to connect an extension to her hose so that's why I was temporarily confused.
I put mine on Normal and it washed for 10 min and spun for 40 min. Is there a cy le with Wash Rinse and Spin?
Thanks man
My machine keeps stalling in the rinse cycle. It also gives me an E1 ir E2 error. Any idea on what to do?
Contact customer service. If you can show that you've bought it within the year they will send you out a new one for free.
@@shangaosurprise thank you!!
@@shangaosurprise Turns out the pump to drain wasn't connected. 😅
@@vivianaelizondo oh wow! So it was solved?
@@shangaosurprise yes, we opened the back and saw that it wasn't connected. Once we connected it, it worked just fine.
This might be a dumb question but do I turn on my faucet? I didn't see you do it and mine leaks water when I do but doesn't add water if I don't. I'm not sure if I set it up wrong
It could be that you are missing the plumber's tape?
I would like to know why my washer is over filing keeps going it flooded my apartment today first time it's ever done that and I've had it over a year and a half, is there a sensor part you can buy for this panda washing machine I got the exact same one that's in your video I love it
A piece might have come off. Look underneath the unit as it fills and you might discover that some important cap has come off. They have an excellent warranty and so you should contact them.
What do the various program settings mean? I can't find anywhere the amount of time dedicated to wash rinse and spin for each of the ten settings
I wish we had gotten this instead of the 6360w. Your agitator seems stronger.
If you think that it is defective you can contact customer service.
Hi, If you use the heavy cycle will the washing action be stronger- more brisk? I have a Magic Chef and you get stronger washing action on heavy. I want a new one but a little bigger. Thanks
I don't think so. I think it only has to do with the length of time that it agitates which will be longer. They're also might be an additional rinse cycle, but I haven't used the longer settings much so I can't confirm that.
Thanks, The Haier brand was that way as well. I like stronger washing action. This way I can wash heavier loads and really get them clean , Best Wishes
Thankmu
Hi Thanks for the great video.. it helped me a lot..could you please share the link to buy the dolly you mentioned in the video. Thanks
Look up adjustable washing machine stand and you should find lots of products to choose from. I'm glad this video was helpful!
Do you leave the faucet on the whole time? No review shows how to fill the thing with water
Yes the faucet remains on and an internal component regulates the water. Aside from the quick connect, it's no different than installing a regular washing machine and leaving the water to the machine on. When you want to move it away you simply turn the water off and detach the quick-connect.
Can you do a spin only cycle? Where it does not add any water? Just spins the shirt out till it’s damp?
Sorry you answered this in the video. But wanted to ask, can you use hot water? Or is cold water only?
great review detail. thanks
I have owned two and three spinning draining cycle has messed up twice
what kind of soap do you use? Mine recommends using washing powder but i've never used washing powder before and am not sure what kind to get
I used Kirkland brand powder but you can really use any type of washing detergent. I would cut the amount that they say to use in half since it is a smaller washer.
Do you have to leave on the faucet the entire time?
Yes you leave the faucet on the entire time and the machine automatically draws and turns off the water as necessary.
Just came across your video was curious since you've had it for a while have you had an issue where the drain pump suddenly stopped working and if so any suggestions on it? Mine I less than a year old and it suddenly had this issue today. Worked fine a few days ago. Will drain by gravity.
No I haven't had an issue with the drain, but I did have an issue with a leak. Panda has a really good one year warranty. Reach out.
@@shangaosurprise I fought Amazon on it since they sold it and ended up with a refund which was nice enough but that frugal part of me still doesn't want to get rid of a washer that still works....kinda lol
There is a drain filter in the back of my new machine. It needs to be occasionally cleaned. That's why your machine quit. It's actually called a 'pump' filter. I had to use a magnifying lens to read the instructions for that. I'm planning to clean it myself, probably once a month. The only problem I have is getting back up from the floor. Granny Sally
@@sallysimmons9099 actually we found later when my hubby was able to look at that the ground wire for the pump disconnected it apparently didn't seem to be attached very securely to begin with
@@sallysimmons9099 Hi Granny Sally! I'm having trouble finding a filter on the drain pump. Could you tell me where that is, please? I have the back panel off and see the pump but no filter. Thank you!
For a dummy like me, it would've helped to know if the faucet water runs the whole time, including the final spin cycle 🥴🥴
love it for my RV
По АВВГ послойно
Where did you find the dolly to sit it on. And is there a way to just run the spin cycle only?
There is a straight spin cycle. Search for Portable compact washer dolly.
@@shangaosurprise how do that. I bought used one no manual. Can you give me step by step. Please n thank you. I'm storing it for camping in spring n want to get leftover water out. Much appreciated. I've you tube n googled no luck.
Set it to program nine and make sure that the hose is on the ground. You can also pour some antifreeze into it and spin it through the system including the hose. It won't damage your unit but will make sure that the water is removed in any liquid left over is antifreeze. Then in the spring you can easily plush it with fresh water and go back to using it like nothing happened.
Awesome thank you for your kindness and information so quickly. I appreciate this.
Wish I could wash my thicker blankets in the bigger portable washers
Yeah that's the downside. I can't even Wash my larger blankets in my buildings washing machine, I have to go to a laundromat with a larger unit. Better to use a duvet cover to minimize the need to wash thicker comforters.
it washes more than that and is not overloaded. It's the bigger of all the others. I'll do the unpacking and set up video.
Better unpack and set it up before you make these claims! 🤔
@@shangaosurprise I’ve owned 2 RV washers jerk!
The clothing has to be able to move somewhat freely in the barrel once water is added. Stuffing the barrel beyond the upper limit is a recipe for unwashed clothing.
@@shangaosurprise this is my third RV washer. People might want to know the average washer they buy is smaller than this machine. I just washed 5 polo shorts, underwear and polo shirts with plenty of room. This is larger capacity than those blue things we all bought. Or I did. You are right this machine is awesome. Those others only lasted a few months, the electrics went snd the dials broke no customer service - China. I got smarter. I bought this one better and a warranty with Walmart. I like the review! Can you do one set up. I bought a 14 gauge appliance cord to add to plug in for safety. This machine is touch no dials to break. I’m so happy to find this!!!! I wasted so much money on the others smaller capacity and cheap!
How did u get your to drain????
Mine won’t fill up with water like only a sprinkle I’m filling it up at a time . Any tips on how to fix this ? I did try to clean the inlet filter .
Do you turn the water on on the sink when you run it
How can I fix E2 sound it won't stop beep
Can you manually fill it with water? I don’t think the water inlet/adapter will fit my faucet
If your kitchen faucet doesn't work then it might work in the bathroom, as they are less likely to deviate from the standard. You cannot use this manually, it's simply to impractical. Look at my other video about the twin tub washing machine if that is your only option.
I have a regular washer I was thinking I could get this for delicates and hand wash .. is that a good idea or no ?
It doesn't have a delicate function. It agitates at the same speed no matter the setting. It does however have a soak feature. I think you should consider and research all the options but it may work.
Anyone know if hose can be replaced for a larger one? I tried to drain the water down my sink but some water kept leaking out so I wanna try and drain it down the shower but I need a longer hose to reach. Any idea where I might find a longer hose for this washing machine?
You can buy a comparable hose at Home Depot or something similar. It's the same hose that is used to hook up conventional washing machines. You will have to mix and match some parts in order to enable a quick adapter and a machine connector. Remember your plumbing tape
Hello my machine is not spinning so quite !! Some one can help me what I do have to Do ? Thank you
How do u just drian it
Does Panda has self cleaning mode to clean the machine ? Thanks
Lolol no.
When you guys use the kitchen sing for portable washer do you have too keep on turn in on off the water .like if i put 3times for rinse do i have to come back trun on the water for the 2nd times rinse
You leave it on and it's all automatic.
@@shangaosurprise i know that dear but when the machine doesn't need water its stop automatically but my kitchen sink doesn't off automatic i did 5times off n on for this machine i know machine stop automatically but my sink water still licking coz it's trun on right i connect the hose in my kitchen so it doesn't off automatically
@@shangaosurprise plz let me know
It’s automatic?
You stated at the beginning of your video that this washer was good in a college dorm, but dorm rooms do not have water faucets to hook the hoses to. Maybe the college you attended did have running water in each dorm room, but my college
'No Frills University', aka 'Questionable Diploma University' did not have running water in the dorm rooms. So I ask you, will this washer work if I fill it with a bucket, meaning filling for the wash cycles, and the rinse cycles with a bucket?
Oh man. Check out my other video on twin tub washing machines. that one will definitely work with a bucket. My concern would be that you would need to be there to fill it with water as it automatically switches between cycles. You might end up burning out the input drain mechanism if it's always dry. Twin tub washing machines are even less expensive and have fewer complex moving parts. Let me know in a comment on the twin tub video if it's a better fit.
@@shangaosurprise I could be there to fill the washer each time it needs water. In fact, I could stop each wash and rinse cycle one minute before it was about to end and I could manually drain, then refill with a bucket or two of water. Would this approach keep the part from burning out?
If you can not manually add water to this machine, then you must stop saying that it works in a dorm room!!
I couldn't find your review video on Twin Tub Washers
@@rongilbert3067 I wouldn't use the machine without a constant water supply for the entire wash. Plus you need somewhere to drain the water too.
Does is fill all of the way up on level 4.? I have a different model (1.6) and it only fills 3/4 of the way level 4.
Level five is as high as it goes up for me and that's full. Level four is 4/5 full.
Hi there, we've had this for a month and love it, but all of a sudden the spin cycle stopped working and causes a burning smell. I've emailed customer service, but wonder if you have any clue as to how to troubleshoot? I can't seem to find my manual so have also asked for a digital copy.
That's quite a shame! I do know that they have a extremely good warranty claim. They will ask you to send them pictures of the cord sliced in half and then after there's proof that the unit has been destroyed they will send you a new one. The only advice I could suggest for fixing it yourself would be to remove the rat barrier at the bottom and tilt it over and poke around. Maybe some twist tie or piece of tape got stuck in the unit during shipping.
shangaosurprise thank you!! It’s comforting to hear they have good warranty coverage. We did tilt the machine over to have a look inside but couldn’t see anything that looked loose to our untrained and bare eyes. Thanks for the feedback!
Mine turns on but won’t start. Do you have their number?
Do you connect it to the hot or cold water supply
I connect mine to the cold water supply and use cold water detergent. It saves a ton of energy. However, in the video I connected it to a faucet which supplied a blend of hot and cold.
Sorry, just wondering what the water levels mean.
1 is the lowest water level, 5 is the highest
are the wheels so tiny that they dont move properly?
They are just on the back and so when I wheeled it, it would end up backwards in the cubby.
@@shangaosurprise oh ok cuz you want it to be at the front. what about when you use , does it swing since you're putting it at the dolly?
Can we put fabric conditioner?
Yes there is a section where you can pour a small amount of fabric softener and it is automatically applied after it spins.
